We had a wonderful workshop Saturday and
enjoyed our printing time with Striped Light's Sarah and Bryan. We're excited to show off the handcrafted posters for our upcoming quilt show - stay tuned! If
you are interested in learning more about the printing process or taking a class with them, their
class schedule is available on their website, www.stripedlight.com. They've been so kind and generous sharing their time, supplies, tools,
ink, paper, space, and expertise.

Sarah and Bryan get us started

The new QuiltCon East Charity Challenge for 2017 has been announced. You can
find all the information here.
Please start thinking about design ideas. We will be accepting design
ideas through our June meeting. Please email us your ideas, with a
sketch, so that we may put these in our meeting presentation. Then we'll vote
to decide on which we'd like to become our quilt!

Local quilt shop Mammaw's Thimble continues its going-out-of-business sale, with 40%
off and, at last check, still a good supply of solid fabrics.

Our
quilt show, Traditional Craft, Modern Perspective, is just a couple
weeks away, so be sure to get your hanging sleeves on your quilts. Mini
quilts don't need sleeves, and we'd love to have as many minis on display as we can get. We want to fill a wall with minis! If your TN mini swap quilt is finished, it would be wonderful to have those as well! Quilts need to be delivered in a plastic bag or pillow case to Melissa's home
or Emily's workplace (Educational Outfitters on Cedar Bluff Rd.) on Tuesday, May 3. (Contact Melissa at modknoxville@gmail.com for her address if you need it.) After the show, quilts need to be picked up Monday, May 9, from
Melissa. Help us spread the word about the show so that we can share our quilts with
a large audience! We'd love to turn this into an annual event.

Next meeting: Our next regular meeting will be May 21 back at Westminster Presbyterian. Bring your finished TN mini swap quilt for voting!
